I always love a good, sexified read, and when this book came to my inbox needing a host from Bewitching Book Tours, I jumped on it! (Get your mind out of the gutter, we're not there yet!) So today, it is my pleasure to introduce you to author April Angel.
Welcome to Immortality and Beyond April!
What Makes a Great Erotica Novel
I think that a lot of people confuse
erotica with just sex. Granted, there is that. A lot of it, in fact.
But Erotica is not all about sex. There has to be sexual tension. I
mean they started somewhere right? And we need to have characters
with depth. That the reader can relate to. A plot. Yes, a plot.
Because if the reader wanted just sex, they’d pop a porn vid on the
dvd and watch that. There’s nothing but sex going on there, so why
waste their precious time reading? You need something going on to
make the sex in the book more than just same old same old. Characters
that make your breath hitch, make you sigh and make you pant. You
need exciting and different plots with hot scenes. Scenes that make
the reader squirm in their seats but also fantasize a little. Or a
lot. Heck, I like to jump off the deep end and go for broke. Erotica
is still a story. It might be based around sex and what goes on with
the couple because of it, but it is still a story. And readers want
to be captured and held enthralled. A great erotica novel is created
by giving the reader a good dose of imaginative plot, incredibly hot
sex scenes and enough passion that it jumps off the pages.
Well said April. Now, let's learn a bit more about April and her book, Mr. Buff!

the Caribbean known as the Dominican Republic. She grew up between
New York, Florida and Massachusetts. Currently, she resides in New

But when Alexandra bumps into Mr. Buff at a club, things go from visual to physical. And much to her delight, she learns that Mr. Buff is really Mr. Dominant. She loves spending time with him and getting to know him the way nature intended, but she’s looking for more than a fling. How’s she supposed to make Mr. Buff realize he’s Mr. Right?

Excerpt:
“So?
What’s he doing? Come on, come on. Stop holding out already.” The
soft, feminine voice on the other end of the line whined like a
child.
Alexandra
rolled her eyes and tried not to smile. Why in the world had she
decided to tell Nina about Mr. Buff? Every morning, like clockwork,
she’d get a call from her best friend and cousin requesting
updates. Wound up and ready to pant, she looked into the office right
across the street.
The
large, sparkling glass windows on both buildings allowed her to view
the man walking around. She drank in the sight of the large, buff
body, hence the name Mr. Buff. The man definitely took his workouts
to heart.
“Alex!
What’s Mr. Buff doing now, chica? Tell me please, please, pretty
pleeease?” Her fiery cousin, Nina, was a pain in the neck when she
thought she was missing out on something good—especially
information about one sexy, half-naked man, a man currently running
long fingers through his impeccably cut hair.
Alex
watched a few locks fall across his forehead. “Not much. He’s
about to put his shirt on.”
“Crap.
Listen, I have to go, but you have to record this stuff on your phone
and e-mail it to me. Stop being so selfish and share. You know I
don’t have a man right now. I can use all the visual stimulation I
can get.”
She
hung up on her cousin’s laughter and continued watching the top
contestant to fulfill all her fantasies dress. Under an idyllic
trance, she visualized the rest of him when he was in the shower.
Excitement hurled through her at the thought of getting a peek at Mr.
Buff in the wet room. A streak of unbidden desire whisked through her
veins and raced down to her cunt.
Her
brain, better than any digital calendar, had recorded his schedule
down to the minute. Each morning, he walked into his office wearing
his workout gear. In running shorts and tank top, his body glistened
with perspiration. Every time she got a glimpse of all that
sweat-covered brawn, her nipples pebbled.
In
wide-eyed enthrallment, she watched him head into the bathroom
attached to his office to shower. Every single day it was the same.
He walked out in his suit pants but never the shirt. She wondered if
he had some kind of conspiracy against her hormones. The display of
contracting muscle made her breath hitch.
His
powerful back and amazing, tight ass were sending out Morse code
signals, beguiling and inciting her interest.
His
white, tailored dress shirt cut the visual feast short. She had to
bite back the urge to scream. Not that he would hear her, but her
coworkers sure would.
Why
not just go over there and ask the man out? Typically, she would have
done that already. Found out his name, instead of just calling the
poor, sexy, strapping creature Mr. Buff, at the very least. “Go
after what you want” was her motto in every aspect of her life; she
was a self-assured woman. Until recently, she didn’t lack
self-confidence. Thanks to her ex, her confidence had taken a
whipping some months back.
Jerk-off
Jack had been cheating, and the confrontation that followed was not
pretty. Questions that had never existed before rose with his words:
“You’re a control freak, Alexandra. No man wants a woman telling
him what to do in the sack. Sometimes I want to be the one leading.
You’re too aggressive. You’re a good fuck, but not someone I
could ever be with long term. I even wonder if you’re faking it at
times.” Oh yeah, Jerk-off Jack had definitely let loose.
Would
she be able to find a man who would want her, deal with her for who
she was and not try to change her? At thirty-three she was tired of
the dating scene. Was it so wrong that she wanted to meet someone and
maybe settle down?
Alexandria
refocused her mind, her vision still glued to Mr. Buff. Oh shit. He
was watching her. Heat crawled across her skin and settled over her
cheeks. Embarrassed, she gave him the usual small smile and
microsecond wave.
His
wicked grin turned the man from handsome to outright gorgeous when he
waved back. Balling and holding papers in a death grip, she dropped
her gaze. All she needed was for the man to think she had some kind
of sick fetish for watching him.
